Take-Along Books for Boys

The new DK Pocket Genius series is full of small, hard-cover books that pack a big punch. I ran across these books a bit ago and was impressed at the amount of information they stuffed into these little books.

Each book in the series is of high quality which is no surprise as DK is one top-notch publisher.

The Pocket Genius books are filled with facts and each book includes a nice glossary. Most are just over 150 pages. There are currently 12 books in the series (though we can hope for more) and each stands on its own.

Update: There are a few more titles out now. Inventions and Technology, Ancient Rome, and Dogs were added to the list. Click here to see them all.

The pictures are wonderfully detailed and clear. The facts are bite-sized and there are a lot of them. The books include statistics, top-ten lists, facts, record-breakers, timelines and more.

Did you know there is a dolphin that can swim 35 mph or that 50,000 skin flakes drop off a human’s skin surface every minute! (I really could have done without knowing about all of those skin flakes).

Pocket Genius’ small size makes them great as a take- along book. Stick Bugs in a backpack to take along on a hike or grab the Human Body book on a trip to the doctor.

Encyclopedias are great to have on hand for those questions that you just know are going to come up. Boys who love facts will thoroughly enjoy these books. Visual learners will enjoy the pictures and the layouts and boys who love nature will find plenty of choices here.
